11 Surround Functions
This chapter describes surround panning, which determines how Input Channel signals are
panned within and across the stereo field. It also describes the DM1000’s surround moni-
toring capabilities, which enable you to monitor, in a surround sound environment,
DM1000 surround mixes or surround sources input via the slots.
Using Surround Pan
About Surround Pan
The Surround Pan function places a sound image within a two-dimensional field using a
multi-channel playback system, and pans the image to the front, rear, left, and right in rela-
tion to the listening position. To pan the stereo image, you can use the Parameter wheel,
[INC]/[DEC] buttons, or Joystick.
You can also store the surround pan settings in a Scene, or record the movement of the
sound image to Automixes.
If each channel’s follow pan (see page 74) is turned off, you can route the signals to the cor-
responding Bus Outs regardless of the Surround Pan setting. This is convenient when you
wish to assign the surround source or surround effect returns to the Buses.
If “Nominal Pan” (see page 267) in the Prefer1 page is checked, the level of the Input Chan-
nels that are panned hard left or right will be used as the nominal level. If the check box is
not checked, the nominal level will be +3dB.
In addition to a normal Stereo mode, the DM1000 features the following three Surround
modes:
• 3-1
This mode uses four channels that include front
left, front right, front center, and rear.
• 5.1
This mode uses six channels that include front left,
front right, rear left, rear right, front center, and
subwoofer.
Note:
If you save a scene with the Follow Pan function turned off while using a DM1000 that
runs firmware older than Version 2.0, the surround settings of the scene may not be played
back correctly.
